- Hannah lost 100 pounds back in 2020, all through eating the same "junk" foods she has had her entire life. She now has a serious passion for low-calorie recipe hacks.
- She once spent four hours making only a dozen pastéis de natas in a pastry class in Lisbon.
- Her current mission is to perfect the chocolate chip cookie without ever having to chill the dough (life's too short to wait for a cookie).
Experience
Hannah has considered herself a writer since she was a kid, but she's been writing professionally for nearly a decade.

She's covered everything from the more impressive apps to serve at your Kentucky Derby viewing party to the best frozen dinners you can grab on any family-friendly budget. When she's not writing, Hannah works as a senior customer care specialist for the calorie counting app Lose It!, where she also co-wrote a sustainable weight loss course based on her personal experience.
